Six Steps to a Girl is the first book in McKenzie’s series that looks at teenage relationships. What makes the book so unique is that it's intended for a female audience, but is told from the perspective of a male character, Luke.

Luke see's Eve at his Dad's funeral and is instantly smitten with her. The only problem is she already has a boyfriend. But when Lukes' mate Ryan tells him about the Six Steps that will guarantee him success with any girl, Luke decides to put them to the test.

This is a short, easy read but is really effective at the same time. What I really liked was the fact that it looked at all the relationships between the characters, instead of just focusing on the potential relationship between Luke and Eve. Personally, I felt this made the book more fulfilling as I got more than what I was expecting.

I did find it a little bit predictable in places, but the realistic situations the characters are put in make up for this. Overall, it’s a brilliant read and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to know how guys think when it comes to getting the girl of their dreams.
